Halfway Vintage Festival

From the Ramble Inn in Halfway (Cork; Bandon rd), this years Vintage Festival proved to be a good day out and we spent more than the half an hour I presumed we’d stay. The Fuchsia Band provided the ceoil and the few dancers (both spontaneous and pre-planned) added a smidgin of craic. There was a raffle where prizes included not but a spanking new pair of pants, but a professional friar and a mug of tay (according to Maírtín of The Fuchsia Band anyway).

There was a whole lotta threshin’ goin’ on too. I pretended to understand it completely while photographing it, but I think I got as much of it as the foreign guy walking around with a pentax on a tripod.

Plenty of vintage cars & bikes, most notably a wartime harley and a couple of nice corvettes that turned up toward the end of the day (and looked like they needed a good wash).

Good day had by all overall, although some people don’t know how to take “I’m not with the media” as an acceptable answer.

Nice shots! Did you get hassled about publication rights and/or royalties or something?
I think I need to setup a photography site and get a few business cards printed. Easier than fobbing people off all the time!
